Nice use of AI. My only concern with tools for uploading sensitive information is trust. I trust big tech companies like Google and Microsoft with my documents, emails, and even private chats, but can I trust individuals? Even if the tech y

It took years for people to accept that some photos had filters applied, enhancing them to look as good as professional shots. The same will happen with text. This is a great blog post, whether it's editorialised or not.

What worries me the most is that if the ACS can't issue new PINs, there's no way to replace them. If a single PIN is shared or compromised, anyone with it can walk in undetected until the whole system is replaced. And if the entir

This is a great post, it captures the true essence of an engineer. It is funny, intriguing, and inspirational. Congrats! You are a hacker at heart. When I went to the US for 3 months I joined PureGym and they gave me a PIN number. I cancell

Let's keep regulating gambling, alcohol, tobacco and porn. We don't want kids in casinos, drunk, smoking or naked in front of a camera.

Do you think the way he reviews PRs sets a bad example for engineers who've just graduated and look up to him? I mean, there are different ways to reject a PR, even if the code is garbage. Or maybe he was upset because he expected a lo

Yeah, but what's really going on here? Palmer is the Chair of the UNIX Class Platform Specification and has apparently been working on a RISC-V spec since 2019.

It's the first sentence of the tweet. The engineer Linus emailed is also the Chair of the UNIX-Class Platform Specification. Anyway, the point is to discuss why Linus thinks his code is garbage, not the tweet's title.

You could also argue that they disappeared the moment Neo took that Nokia 8110 out of his pocket and everyone wanted one of those instead. Even Nokia released the 8110i because people wanted that same phone, which had been modified for Neo.

Except in Brazil, pay phones have disappeared across most of America, especially in the US. The last time I was in New York I only saw a few left. This post made me realise how much work and cost goes into keeping a public phone running, in

Great idea and execution. Is there any way to know if you ran a simulation of your message on Hacker News, and whether the actual outcome matched what your simulation predicted? I'm a stats nerd, so I'm just here for the data.
